We're moving fast and (hopefully not) breaking (too many) things 😅 It's been a wild first 3-ish months here, and we've got a LOT happening in the Launch Center, our Career Services office. The latest update is that we're open for business to get the conversation started with more employers! If you're already on Handshake - find SVU, add it to the list of schools you're keeping an eye on and sharing opportunities and events with, and let us know you're interested in us at launch.center@svu.edu.

To all the Career Fair haters, Career Fair prep takes TIME, time that one must choose to invest in their career. I would suggest starting your prep at least 2 weeks in advance to be effective during the fastest 6 hours of your semester. Feel free to share your opinions or add to this post through comments about your tips and tricks. Let’s get into it! 💡Create a list of 10 most desirable companies out of the employers list available. Order the companies from most desirable to the 10th desirable one. 💡Start at the top of the list and research the company. Bare minimum is to find out what service/product they create, what some ongoing initiatives are, if you are an international student, whether the company offers sponsorship. 💡Look for positions that match your interest, write down why you like this position and what you can do from your end to add value. Write down each technical requirement you meet. 💡Create a script along these lines: Hi, i’m interested in applying my [enter field name] skills in [insert position] position at [insert company] because [insert everything you love about the company] and I’d love to walk you through how I meet the requirements of the position. 💡If you have multiple positions of interest, bring them up. If the employer is not familiar gently ask for being redirected within the company and ask them about their role and show genuine thirst for learning about them. 💡Repeat above for each of the 10 companies. 💡Write down your script on paper in the order of the companies you will stop by at the career fair. To avoid wasting time, mark the companies on the map provided. 💡Show up to the fair as early as you can (I was the first person to arrive at the Micron booth and Charles Pendleton gave me a chance). I stay till the fair ends, because you never know who you might cross paths with. 💡Be confident, attempt to sound conversational while being professional (Employers get tired too, entertain them a bit, break the boredom) 💡Respectfully find a way to stay connected with whom you’ve spoken, even if things don’t go the way you expect, there is a lot of learning that’s possible through making new connections. 💡Smile If you’d like more details, feel free to reach out. #jobsearch #crackingthecareerfair #internationalstudents #getemployed
